Do your OWN AV testing via simulation
Hi all
I think we see so many posts on this forum as to AV program A is better than B or whatever but how many people EVER do THEIR OWN testing.
I'd suggest first run a "simulation" type of test on scanning for a known virus and then (preferably on a Virtual Machine) load up a test Virus and see if your AV software detects it.
Comparisons that product A is better than B are meaningless here since we all use Computers and the Internet in different (often very different) ways that it makes any sort of comparison meaningless.
So for simulation try the approach suggested here
